"Xavier Becerra surged to 13%, tying billionaire Tom Steyer, as party leaders warned that too many Democrats could prevent any from reaching the November general election."
"I certainly could not have imagined the twists and the disturbing turns that this race has taken, but through it all, my values and my vision for California has never wavered."
"The most unpredictable California governor's race in recent history took another set of dizzying turns on Monday, with former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra surging after former Rep. Eric Swalwell dropped out."
"A poll released Monday by the state Democratic Party showed Becerra's support jumped nine points to 13%, placing him in a tie with Tom Steyer."
Xavier Becerra experienced a significant increase in support, reaching 13% in a recent poll, following Eric Swalwell's withdrawal from the California governor's race due to sexual assault allegations. This race, marked by unpredictability, has no clear front-runner and features a diverse group of candidates. Former state Controller Betty Yee also exited the race, citing fundraising challenges. The Democratic Party is concerned that too many candidates could hinder their chances in the upcoming election, as voters begin to engage with the campaign.
